Just from watching Dunte in games, I get the impression that when he is up against a much taller receiver, which happens a lot, he is athletic enough to break up the pass but not athletic enough to go up and take it away from him. On the rare occasion where he gets a chance to jump a route, I think he can do that as well as anyone in the league. I also think he is excellent on the blitz but because of team philosophy he hasn't gotten much of a chance to use his talents. Hopefully that philosophy will change somewhere down the road.
When he was opposite Faggins and it was 3rd down, it seemed like the other team almost NEVER threw to Dunte's man. Maybe because they were afraid Dunte would make a play.
